1st Edition
by Alexander V. Nebylov (Editor), Joseph Watson (Editor)
Compiled by leading authorities, Aerospace Navigation Systems is
a compendium of chapters that present modern aircraft and spacecraft
navigation methods based on up-to-date inertial, satellite, map matching
and other guidance techniques. Ranging from the practical to the
theoretical, this book covers navigational applications over a wide
range of aerospace vehicles including aircraft, spacecraft and drones,
both remotely controlled and operating as autonomous vehicles. It
provides a comprehensive background of fundamental theory, the
utilisation of newly-developed techniques, incorporates the most complex
and advanced types of technical innovation currently available and
presents a vision for future developments. Satellite Navigation Systems
(SNS), long range navigation systems, short range navigation systems and
navigational displays are introduced, and many other detailed topics
include Radio Navigation Systems (RNS), Inertial Navigation Systems
(INS), Homing Systems, Map Matching and other
correlated-extremalsystems, and both optimal and sub-optimal filtering
in integrated navigation systems.
